It was a huge mistake to use pH Perfect base for coco grow. It almost ruined my plant.
It is very important to understand the purpose of the each bottle in the official table: you should never use just everything they listed in the tables. It will be the pain, it is so disbalanced and overfertilized it can burn your plant even at 50% of recommended volume.
The best thing you can buy from AN is their Biostimulants (Tarantula/Piranha/Voodoo Juice). But again, you can just buy Tarantula and it will contain almost every microbe/fungus from the other two bottles.
Overpriced fertilisers, I will swap them to products of Canna.
Just checked other diaries for this strain and noticed that the colour of leaves in my case looks too light. Other ladies of this breed has darker green leaves, may it be a signal that I do something wrong?
You can see an example from an other diary attached.
Humidity is around 80% (I can't do anything about that right now), 16 L pot with coco. How often should I water it? It still feels heavy after two days without water, but I'm concerned that if I only water my plant every three days, it might not be sufficient. What should I do?
Coco needs to stay wet with a ph of 5.8. I have grown in coco for a long time. Coco works like perlite. It is impossible to over water unless you let it sit in run off. Calmag is also needed in coco grows. As long as it stays wet and you provide heavy irrigation regularly with new nutrition. Plus ph stays at 5.8 going in and comming out your plant should thrive.
Why run off mixture has stable high pH and doubled ppm?In 6.1 500 ppm Out 6.4 1020 ppm (each watering for the last week)I use Top Crop Coco substrate prepared with 0.2 g/L nutrients, how long will it affect run off ppm value?
Hola esta en los parámetros correctos 6.4 esta bien y los ppm en 1000 tampoco es mucho. Si haces un lavado de raíces quitaras todos los nutrientes del sustrato. Si piensas que es alto el ec en tu nivel de drenaje solo riega con agua hasta que baje un poco. Pero para mi esta perfecto
In several weeks my plant has yellow spots between veins, but it starts from the top to the bottom of the plant: old leaves seems fine when the new ones are spotted.I thought it is Mg deficiency, fed my plant foliar with epsom salt, added CalMag to the feeding, but no luck. WTF?
Looks like light overfeed.
Don't forget not only deficiencies exist, toxicity and lockout can make same damage.
Epsom salt would sort any magnesium lack in 2-3 days.
Dont panic, just grow.
Watter more, love more, all will be good.
Have run off to prevent build up.
I flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?
Continue flushing. You will need to run 2x or 3x the container size in water, possibly even more.
If in 3 gallon containers run 6 gallon or 9 gallons of water through it.
After you have gotten it down, follow the flush with quarter or half strength nutrient.
Goodluck growmie.
What is this?
I had a huge problems with a feeding, so it may be everything, but I want to know what's disease is this and what can I do.
Please, read the diary to get more information about the past weeks.
Other symptoms:
- Curled down leaves
- Burnt tips
- Leaves dropping off
This is not a disease. You are growing in coco treating it like it is soil is the problem. I have grown in coco for years. You have a salt build up from lack of drainage. Coco is a high irrigation system of growing with a hydro boost in a potter. So ph 5.8 in, 5.8 ph out in run off. Coco should never dry out. Always wet but never sitting in run off. The toxicity of nitrogen and the deficiency signs is biggest clue to improper drainage and salt build ups. You need to flush this coco. Till ph in run off is 5.8. Then reapply new feed at 5.8 ph. Flowering npk ratio is 1-2-3.
